Tooth Extractions in Plano, TX
Gentle Solutions for Problematic Teeth
While saving your natural teeth is always our goal, there are times when a tooth extraction is the healthiest option. Whether you're dealing with severe decay, overcrowding, or impacted wisdom teeth, All Day Smiles Dental provides comfortable, precise removal in a caring environment.
Our Plano office is equipped for both routine and surgical tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth removal and advanced procedures like coronectomy when full extraction isn’t ideal. We’re here to relieve your pain and protect your long-term oral health—without unnecessary stress.
When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary?
There are several reasons a tooth may need to be removed, including:
- Deep decay that cannot be restored
- Advanced gum disease weakening tooth support
- Fractured or broken teeth below the gumline
- Overcrowding prior to orthodontic treatment
- Impacted or infected wisdom teeth
- Preventive removal of problematic third molars
During your visit, Dr. Sweeta Walia or Dr. Steffanie Lien will perform a full evaluation to determine whether the tooth can be saved—or if extraction is the most appropriate option.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to erupt—typically between ages 17 and 25. In many cases, they don’t have enough room to come in properly, leading to impaction, infection, or pressure on neighboring teeth.
Our practice offers gentle wisdom teeth removal, including impacted cases. If your wisdom teeth are partially erupted or positioned near vital nerves, we may recommend a coronectomy, a technique where only the crown of the tooth is removed while leaving the root undisturbed to reduce the risk of nerve damage.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed—but when they do, early evaluation can prevent more complex issues down the road.
What to Expect During Your Extraction
- Imaging & Exam – We take digital X-rays to assess the tooth and surrounding bone.
- Anesthesia – Local numbing ensures you stay comfortable. For anxious patients, we may recommend sedation dentistry.
- Extraction – The tooth is gently loosened and removed. Surgical extractions may require small incisions.
- Aftercare – We’ll provide detailed instructions and recommendations for recovery, including follow-up care or tooth replacement options if needed.
Our team ensures a smooth experience from start to finish and checks in with you during your healing process.
Post-Extraction Options
After a tooth is removed, it’s important to consider replacement to prevent shifting and bone loss—especially if the extracted tooth is not a wisdom tooth. We offer a full range of restorative solutions, including:
- Dental Implants for permanent tooth replacement
- Full & Partial Dentures for multiple missing teeth
- Snap-On Smiles as a non-invasive cosmetic solution
If extraction is part of a larger treatment plan, we’ll coordinate timing and healing to ensure seamless results.

Will a tooth extraction hurt?
We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to ensure you’re completely comfortable. Most patients feel pressure, not pain, during the procedure.
What is a coronectomy?
A coronectomy is a specialized procedure where only the top portion of a wisdom tooth is removed, leaving the roots in place. It’s typically recommended when full extraction poses a risk to nearby nerves.
How long is recovery after a tooth extraction?
Most patients recover within a few days. We’ll provide instructions to reduce swelling, avoid dry socket, and promote healing.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, and not affecting your bite, removal may not be necessary. We evaluate each case individually.
